Delay Workflow with the Delay API

Delay the execution of your workflow for a specific amount of time (does not count against your compute time).

Overview of wit.ai#

Wit.ai API enables your apps to process natural language and understand human commands contextually. With it, you can build conversational interfaces, decipher intent from text or voice inputs, and train your model to improve recognition. Pipedream provides a seamless platform to trigger workflows using this API, allowing the automation of tasks based on language cues. It's perfect for crafting custom bots, enhancing customer service, or streamlining internal operations by interpreting human requests and taking action accordingly.

  props: {
    wit_ai: {
      type: "app",

Overview of Delay#

The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})
